  • Award-winning family-owned north Norfolk holiday park
  • Within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, a mile from Cromer
  • Dog-friendly site with woodland walks and a popular bar-restaurant
How would you like to stay at an award-winning forest park with walks through sheltered tree groves, a sun patio to bask on, plenty of play areas for the youngsters and hilltop viewpoints taking in a sandy beach, the Norfolk coastline and the famed golf course at Royal Cromer? You would? Then take the family tree to Forest Park, a pristinely pretty park set among 100 acres of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. There’s loads to do on site alongside the woodland walks and gaping at the views, from the grassy space on site for kids to play ball games and run about to the cycling routes in the local area. Forest Park is a mile from the seaside town of Cromer, where there are plenty of restaurants dishing up Cromer crab. Back on site, there's a bar-restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (opening times vary). The well-stocked park shop sells fresh honey produced at the on-park bee hives, alongside fresh hot drinks made with locally sourced coffee beans and freshly baked croissants, bread and pastries: just follow your nose. Toys, camping equipment, newspapers, gifts and a good selection of groceries are also on offer.

What customers say

Spacious, well-kept park with friendly staff, great restaurant/bar. Clean site & showers, lovely woodland walks. Handy for Cromer/beach. Note: some sloped pitches, a few wastewater/dated facility issues. Can be busy with occasional noise.

Liked Nice big pitches. Fairy walk was a bit run down but would be great with a little touch up.

Disliked Pool was shut for refurbishment. No prior mention of this as booked months in advanced. Not communicated to us.
Play parks were rubbish the central one had 1 big kid swing 1 baby swing and a wooden boat to climb. Kids were bored after 5 minutes. The other play park by restaurant wasn't much better.
Cars driving very fast around site. Not stopped by a warden etc...
Lacking in that family feeling. No activities put on during the day over summer.
We left early after an incident that we could not ignore and to their credit the office team handled it very well.
We however felt extremely sadend by the fact that this site was advertised as one of the best around and it fell very far off that to us.
We would not go back. And would not reccomend.

Liked Good location to the town and beach.

Disliked We booked this site as a bit of a luxury treat and a chance to reset after travelling around in our campervan, so unfortunately it was quite a disappointing stay.

A few hours after making the booking and payment, we received a phone call to say there had been a glitch in the booking system and the fully serviced pitch we had booked wasn’t actually available. Mistakes happen, and we were happy to accept a grass pitch instead, but unfortunately when we arrived we found the grass pitches were all very sloping and positioned quite closely together. We had to ask to be moved and ended up changing pitches twice during our stay, which wasn’t exactly the relaxing experience we had hoped for.

For the price, we were also disappointed with the facilities. They felt quite dated, unclean and generally a little messy, we’ve stayed at much nicer sites for considerably less money. The phone signal was also very poor on both pitches we stayed on, and wasn’t able to reach the site’s free Wi-Fi, which was frustrating.

The site was also very busy with groups and families, with dogs barking and loud music continuing until quite late at night. It was during the summer holidays, so we appreciate that some noise is to be expected, but it did add to the feeling that this wasn’t the peaceful reset we had booked it for.

Overall, we felt the site was very expensive for what it offered and unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. We’ve stayed at plenty of sites that offered a much better experience for considerably less.

Liked Lovely welcome at reception from the two ladies. (They nearly tried to have me married off to another guest at check in LOL 🤣🤣)
Everything explained clearly about the park.
Pitch was a good size and in good order.
Plenty of areas to walk around with the dog.
Toilets and showers were clean and in good order.
Food was really nice with decent size portions.
Easy walk into Cromer.
Weather was excellent which was an added bonus.
Looking forward to returning soon.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike other than having to go home.

Liked Just got back from Forest Park caravan site at Cromer. Absolutely fabulous. They have everything you can think of. Every where was very clean and tidy. Ate at the restaurant a few times and was delicious. The staff were marvellous and couldn’t do enough. Nothing was too much trouble. Our motor mover decided to pack up just as we got the caravan off the car so I had to reverse it on. I hadn’t done it before but the manager was so very patient and told me everything to do so I could park it. He was amazing. Wi-Fi was free but a bit slow but then again it always is in Norfolk. Definitely will go back again. In fact im looking at dates already.

Disliked They wasn’t anything to dislike

Liked The site was lovely, clean tidy with friendly helpful staff. Within walking distance of Cromer and overstrand for able bodied people. I was travelling with my disabled husband and a mobility scooter.

Disliked This is not a dislike, just a recommendation to the site. I did speak to reception.
The grey waste needs to be looked into. Currently you have to empty it in the elsan point, which is up to steps and then lift into a unit that is probably just under a metre off the floor. Not practical. And then my second thing is wall chairs or little optional stools are needed for the showers. Again, it would make it easier for people with disabilities, older people, or even more abled bodied people to be able to dry and dress after the shower.

Local attractions

From Forest Park, you can see the village of Overstrand, which has a beach; from here, walk the mile and a half into Cromer for its funfair, zoo, theatre, museums and that famed Cromer crab (buy in the town or catch your own off the pier). If you’re angling for other fishy treats, try fishing for bass off the pier or taking a boat out to sea to land some cod. Two long-distance walking routes finish in Cromer: the Norfolk Coast Path which runs 45 miles from here to Hunstanton and the Weavers’ Way, a 56-mile route going to Great Yarmouth. Wildlife including seabirds and seals can be spotted from many places along the coast, with seal-spotting boat trips available from Blakeney (half an hour's drive). The kids should enjoy days out to places like Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens and the award-winning adventure park BeWILDerwood (both half an hour). Meanwhile, grown-up activity in the area includes exploring Norfolk’s many history and heritage sites: roam around the rhododendrons at Sheringham Park (15 minutes), check out the royal retreat of Sandringham (an hour) or get lost wandering around the Holkham estate (an hour) with beaches, nature reserve, woodland play area and outdoor theatre.
